Botox does wear off faster if you exercise
By LHB on 25 Jan 2012
Good news for those who do not like their Botox results...and bad news for those who do. I happen to love Botox and I'm so sad with how fast it has worn off for me. Mine has only lasted 2 months and it is almost completely gone! I do work out rigorously and intensely 6 days a week. I also drink a lot of water. Just wanted to pass this info on. I'm going to get a full treatment again in a month and I'll update how long it lasts the second time.
I found this article about a Doctor whose antibiotics for her bladder infection made her botox wear off in a few days;

I thought it was interesting and some may find the list of things that make botox wear off faster very helpful!
I have had botox two times and each time they lasted about 4 months. I am not that big of a workout person, but I have noticed that when I do not have regular shots, I get headaches and tense in my forehead (that is where I have had botox- forhead between my eyes) My forehead gets so tight that it´s hard to relax now. I realize that is due to it wearing off but it feels like now I have to get it regularly which is scarey- otherwise by 6 months it´s so tense in my forehead. Does anyone else have this problem or have heard about it?
Yes please do! I know some people build up a tolerance over time, interesting how everyone's body reacts a bit differently to the same substance.
Another community member had mentioned this in their review also! When she mentioned it, it was the first I had heard about it. I had Botox in September & am an avid gym attender also - every morning before the office- and mine was gone in 3 months. I think there still may be some very trace signs of it, but overall it seems like its gone. I'm happy though, cause I had bags pop out under my eyes when it was active. I'll probably do it again, just not sure yet.
